Pledges Have Heart Patty Duke At UM

Newly-installed UM pledges will march for the benefit of the Dade County Heart Association this weekend.
The 130 pledges, most of whom picked up their invitations to pledge last weekend, will take part in the first allpledge activity ever sponsored by the UM Interfraternity Council.
During the pledge march, the new’ pledges will canvass the entire Coral Gables and Coconut Grove area in an attempt to raise funds for the Dade County Heart Association.
"IFC is quite enthusiastic about the entire idea." said IFC President Jack Afflebach. “For the first time, pledges from each fraternity are being called on to assume some responsibility and work together.
"At the same time, they are able to show members of the local community that the fraternity men at the University of Miami do have a great amount to contribute to worthwhile community affairs.”
The pledge march resulted from a plea from the DCHA when the Heart Association was unable to obtain a sufficient number of volunteers to collect funds.
$5,234 Taken In Robbery
By GERDA KLEE HURRICANE Asst. News Editor
Equipment valued at more than $5,235 was stolen from the UM photo center at about 6 am. Wednesday.
Clues led investigators to believe that someone entered' the photo center through the front door of the student dark room, leaving the lock unmolested. A heavy wire screen was cut to gain entrance into the other laboratory, studio and front office, where most of the photo equipment is stored.
University photographer Sidney Tal-Mason and Thcrold S. Lindquist, head of the photo renter, found the locks ripped off both their equipment cabinets in the front office.
Totaling the losses, Lindquist said that he and Tal-Mason lost more than $4,100 of personal photographic equipment, added to UM-owned equipment valued at $985. Student photographer Jeanette Becklin reported $245 worth of equipment missing.
Eight complete cameras, with lenses: three camera bodies; one camera complete with lens and motor; 21 individual lenses, and various exposure meters, extension tubes, lens hoods, rases and additional photo gear were lifted.
The robbery was not immediately discovered, as the entire photo center and student dark room were found in perfect
order.
Coral Gables police, with a memlier of the detective department, investigated the theft and concluded, “Someone must have been familiar with the renter and of the location of the equipment, since the student darkroom containing mostly paper and chemicals remained untouched."
Lindquist was surprised to find a complete camera set up untouched, but added he wasn’t surprised by the robbery because of the amount of security the campus police provide.
The investigation is continuing, police reported.

or other natural disasters, the union will he dedieated April 22, according to Chink Whitten, director of the student union.

Although there is no formal registration for open rush, bids to pledge may only be entered Tuesday afternoons in the IFC office.
"We, the IFC executive council and the fraternity men at UM, are most anxious to meet potential pledges during the coming weeks," said Afflebach. “We hope the independent men at the university will take advantage of the opportunity which is being presented to them through open rush "

Wallets Taken During Class
While the girls in EEI) 222, physical education in the elementary school, were working hard getting limber at the West Lab School, someone else was working just as hard.
Bees, evil fairies, or ugly oafs (choose one) collected the wallets from a heap of hooks and purses lying around the corner from where the girls were standing.
The loss of hard-to-replace cards and licenses was probably more serious than the money involved, but it points out the need to be cautious with purses.
Students can do their part in helping thc campus f>olice by taking care of their wallets and watching for people carrying 12 or more wallets or a bust of Gen. Neville McArthur, removed from the engineering building.
Old Leo Loses If is Dignity
Pity thc poor SAE lion For years he has guarded his masters’ den His kingly stature, on occasion, has been lowered by devious methods, usually perpetrated by residents of neighboring dens.
Some of his experiences have been downright shattering.
In fact, during an exclusive interview with Leo, the HURRICANE discovered that the poor beast is suffering from a persecution complex.
"I expect people from other frats to pick on me,” said our kingly friend, indignantly. “But I could cry when my own friends dishonor me.”
Leo was referring of course, to a recent paint job given him by his own brothers.
"I didn’t m:nd the gold color so much, in fact I thought it was quite becoming,” said the king of beasts. “It’s just that they didn’t consult with me about the project.”
